IMPROVEMENT IN HOT-WATER RESERVOIRS FOR STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 133,958, dated December17, 1872.

To all whomoz't may concern:

Be it known that we, HORATIO N. WATERS,

of Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, andGEORGE W. LAS- T CELL, of Syracuse, in the county of- Onondaga and Stateof New York, have invented a new and useful Apparatus for Heating andPurifying Water; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description thereof, whereby a person skilled in theart can make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Our invention consists in certain mechan- Q ical arrangements forarresting and confining the heated gases from a stove or other similarfire, and inclosing the same with a waterreservoir, from which hot watercan be drawn,

as desired. It also consists in the application of devices for cleaningthe said apparatus, and

removing the accumulation of sediment from the water or soot from theinterior smokepipes as often as may be requisite.

7 In theaccompa-nying drawing,Arepresents a stove. B is a pipe leadinginto the interior "drum or cylinder 0 near its top. D is a pipe leadingfrom the inside of 0, near the bottom, upward, and opens into the air oran ordinary chimney. E is a water cylinder or reservoir surrounding G,and leaving a space on all sides and the top and bottom, so that'the theinterior chamber 0, as shown by the dotted line. G is a cock for drawinghot water from E. H is a waste-pipe for blowing off the sediment oremptying E, when required. It

is providedwith a stop-cock, which is ordinarily kept closed. I is ahand-hole passing through the exterior chamber E for the purpose ofcleaning out the accumulation of soot in the chamber 0. J is a hand-holenear the bottom of the water-reservoir for the purpose of removing anydeposit that may accumulate on the bottom. All sediment can be thuscleaned out easily at any time, and keep the water pure and clean.

The reservoir E may have a safety-valve or a cock in the top to allow ofthe escape of steam or air.

The water is heated nearly or quite to the boiling-point in thefollowing manner: The heated gases passing through B enter the top of G,and pass downward as they cool by imparting heat to the water. Thehottest part of the water being at the top, by the continued rising ofthe heated particles, and the coolest part being at the bottom, wherethe cold water enters, the heat is almost entirely abstracted from thegases before they reach the bottom and pass oil through the pipe D.

Claims.

What we claim as our invention is- 1. The combination and arrangement ofthe. cylinders O and E with the entrance and exit pipes B and I),substantially as herein described.

2. The combination and arrangement of the cylinders U and E with-thehand-holes I and J, substantially as herein described.

3. The arrangement of the devices B G D E F G H I J substantially inthe'manner described, to form a heating apparatus.
